While the private sector plays an increasingly important role in renewable energy markets, there is a dearth of business support for climate adaptation, especially for smallholder farmers who bear the brunt of global warming.

This case study for FP078: Acumen Resilient Agriculture Fund provides an overview of the project, expected results and impacts, as well as GCF's unique and innovative role.
